Dr Robert Bohanさんのイラストまとめ

Jonathan’s Token to David (1868), Daedalus & Icarus (1869), Greek Girls picking up Pebbles (1871) & Interior of the Grand Mosque, Damascus (1873-5).

He became an Associate of the RA in 1864, rising to become President (1878-96). Male Figure (1865), Mrs James Guthrie (1866), Courtyard of a Mosque (1867) & the Isle of Chios (c1867). His success meant that he was able to gain financially from the society portrait market.

He died in 1519, aged 67. In his will he left much of his estate to Melzi & to Salai. These two men had supported & loved him in life. Leda (nd), Nude (nd) & Salai as John the Baptist. The latter is a surprisingly erotic image for an old master!

He was in Rome (1513-6). He had a good relationship with the Pope & met with the French King. He entered the King’s service in 1516, & was given a Manor House & a pension. Woman (1508), Embryo (1509-14) & St John (1510-15). The latter was based on an idealised Salai, his lover.

Leonardo returned to Florence in 1507 to settle his father’s estate & then went back to Milan. Study for Madonna (1501), Battle of Anghiari (Copy, 1503-5) & Mona Lisa (1503-5). Lisa, when viewed quietly, is deceptively alive.

In 1503 he created a preliminary study (a cartoon) for the Battle of Anghiari for the city hall in Florence. It was not used. Isabella d’Este (1500), Salvator Mundi (attributed, c1500) & Madonna of the Yardwinder (attributed, 1501). The latter is mesmerising!

In 1499 he escaped war with his lover Salai to go to Venice where he worked on projects to protect the great city. He went on to Florence where he created my favourite drawing by him, The Virgin & Child with SS Anne & John the Baptist.(c1499)

He was in Milan from 1482-99. There he was commissioned to paint the astounding Virgin of the Rocks. There are two versions, by him, one in the Louvre (1483-6) & one in the National Gallery, London (1495-1508). The Louvre has a pointing angel which he removed in the 2nd work

One of the great triumphs of science in the Renaissance were Leonardo’s botanical studies of plants. Lady with Unicorn (c1480), Lily (1480-5), St Jerome (1480) & St Sebastian (1480-1). St Sebastian was often used as a coded symbol for gay artists.

The Hands in the drawing here have been suggested both as studies for Ginerva & for the Mona Lisa. Warrior (1472), Ginevra de Benci (c1474), Hands (1474). Leonardo was also fascinated with depicting age, beauty & emotion - particularly in profile drawings.
